This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Open up this cupboard and you'll find a bone of everyone inside,
breathe life into articles and breathe in particles before our time,
an apple in our vision is the object on the supple tip of boughs,
but remember that the apple is the wood and the wood becomes the substance for the plough,
just as the polished shiny tooth is cradled in the softest fleshy gum,
remember that the product's not assembled like an architect that builds a house,
and the apple never got attached,
and therefore didn't get detached.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
These lyrics are brilliant.
Indeed, they are.Eventhough I think it's some kinda commercial thing I can definately relate to it.Think it's cool that somebody actually paid attention to the lyrics...
Bibio is incredible. I've never heard a catchier song with such deep lyrics!
I interpret a sentiment of infinite oneness, that we are all part of one eternal cycle. Trees are broken down to create plows, which in turn sow more trees. We breathe in "particles" (air, water, dust, etc.) so that we may breathe out "articles" (words, thoughts, etc.) Furthermore, our divisive minds see the apple as the prize of an apple tree. It is not an attached fixture of the tree, but rather another part of the tree's overall growth. And since the tree never "gained" an apple it can never "lose" one. Truly beautiful poetry...and so applicable to life!
